Water is not the answer. I need a substance that will boil at around 90 degrees F. and with a higher expansion rate, and that will not explode or ignite with heat or open flame.

That one's hard, what about dichloromethane(aka methylene chloride). Boiling point around 90 F and not explosive/flammable is a tall order buddy. CH2Cl2 is pretty close.

A suitable halon? Commonly used as a fire extinguishing agent. See http://66.249.93.104/search?q=cache:sbfTFE-6FxcJ:www.p2pays.org/ref/22/21168.pdf+halon+boiling+points+tables&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=4 (sorry you need to go to the pdf version to get the tables - link at top of paper) for a table which gives some compounds with a boiling point close to 90F and high molecular weights. Don't know about molecular volume.
